Main Characters (3)
Summary
Minako throws herself into an idol audition staged as a televised competition, one of whose judges is Yaten. She reaches the closing round on talent alone. A second judge is secretly Sailor Tin Nyanko, who has taken a human guise to stalk prey among the contestants. Through every stage of the ordeal, the people around Minako keep reminding her not to lose sight of the ambitions she holds beyond her role as a guardian.
Key Events
During the final stage, Tin Nyanko turns one of the judges into a Phage named Sailor Musician, the only creature of this sort she ever spawns. Minako clears the last round and earns her spot, yet she chooses her friends over the spotlight, deciding their company matters more to her right now than a life lived under the lights.
